List installed farmwares (on-device plugins like camera-calibration, plant-detection, measure-soil-height). Use the label with farmbot_execute_script to run one.
AI agents call farmbot_list_farmwares to retrieve information from Farmbot Agent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates installed farmware plugins on the FarmBot device. It has no side effects, creates no modifications, executes no code, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent. The result is informational only; actual execution of farmwares is handled by separate tools like farmbot_execute_script.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List installed farmwares' — a pure query operation that retrieves information about installed plugins without modifying or executing anything.

List installed farmwares (on-device plugins like camera-calibration, plant-detection, measure-soil-height). Use the label with farmbot_execute_script to run one. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Farmbot Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Farmbot Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for farmbot_list_farmwares: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Farmbot Agent. Nothing to install.
farmbot_list_farmwares is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the farmbot_list_farmwares rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
